Club, In which the bats, balls, .tc, a'e kept, have several times been broken open The rascals who have been engaged lu thisworkare pret ty well known, und it wonid bi well for them to exercise a little care or clseabandon their evil practices. Pretty Thick. The Sta,esinan tries to convey the Impression that "0,000 people listened to the speeches of Yoorhees and Vallandigham on Mondaj. That 30,000 occupied about one-half of the east terrace of the State House. Wasn't that packing 30,000 people Into a rather small space? Bound Over. Charles Davis and John Troutfelter were yesterday trind before Mayor Bnll for stealing lumber at the new Catholic church on Third street. These men have been currying off small parcels of lumber for several weeks. The Mayor found them guilty of the facts charged and bound them over towurt iu the sum of $300 each.

According to the law of last winter closing his office, the Commissioner of Bureau of Soldiers' Claims lu this city, Col. lloyal Taylor, submitted his final reiort to the Governor yesterday. It shows that the amount of 'claims collect between March 6, 1805, and Novemlier 15, 18(1.1, was $327,519 80; from November 15, 18(0, to November 15, 1800, $538,828 01, and from November 15, 1800, to October 1st, 18(17, $100,-529 47. Total $1,005,918 2?. The Hebrew Festival Monday aud Tuesday were celebrated bj our Hebrew citizens as the commencement of their new year. Though all those ceremonies which were required by tho Levltlciil law, and were scrupulously observed while tho Tem pie stood, are not now used, the main features are the same. It is a scasou of unmixed rejoicing, and, as will have been observed, the stores of those who now cclebratohclr new year were closed. Besides performing the customary rites at the Synagogue, con gratulatory visits were made and presents given. The Democratic Debauch Again. The " Local " of the Statesman yesterday morning engaged in the gentlemanly business In a Democratic view of calling the " Local '' of the Journal a liar. This Is always the resort of low bred and mean fellows when they lack a better argument, aud the Statesman fellow falls back upon the last argument of blackguards with remarkable facility. We presume that this is not his natural element, but It Is not strange that he should resort to It when we reflect that he has not yet recovered from last Monday's debauch. As he Is not yet In a condition to be held responsible for what he says, we cau excuse him. The public knows that the streets were covered with drunken men on Mouday ; that dozens of fights occurred, and that it was not safe for a lady to go out unaccompanied by a gentleman, aud In the fact that these things are known, and are crushing down the Democratic party in tills county like a leaden weight, is the secret of the impotent wrath of the Statesman. Railroad officials at the depot inform us that that place, froinO o'clock Monday night until 2 o'clock the next morning, was the scene of such a drama as can only be enacted by dozens of men brutalized I by whisky ; and it was only by the greatest exertions that order could be preserved, and ladies protected from insult. The facts which we have given to the public In respect to the Democratic meeting can be verified by many witnesses, and the Statesman is welcome to the poor privilege of calling us a liar. Register of Births and Deaths. By a law passed by the General Assembly of Ohio last winter, it was made the duty of the Probate Judges to keep a register of the births and deaths in their respective counties. It also made it the duty of physicians and mid-wives to make a return to the Probate Judge of the births that occur within their knowledge, and of physicians, sextons, &c, to make a return of the deaths. These returns are to be madesemi-annually, on the 1st of April and October of each year. The time has now expired for the first return to be made, and yet the Probate Judge of this county has received only the reports of one physician and one mid-wife. If the provisions of the law could be carried into effect the public would thus be furnished with some very valuable statistics. We trust that those persons whose duty It is to make these returns will do so Immediately. Rain. This vicinity of the country was visited by u slight shower of rain last night. The dry weather with which we have teen afllictcd has been unparalcllcd in the history of the country. The Scioto river Is so low that water has ceased to run over the State dam below the city, and the river is so near dry at this point that It Is possible for a man to cross the river without wetting his boots. Work on the bridge of the Columbus aud Hocking Valley Railroad has been commenced, but the water lu the canal Is so low that It Is Impossible to procure stone so as to hasten on the work. The Truthkul Statesman. The States man tries to make it appear that the Journal reporter lied when he suld that there were 120 "Gray Boys in Blue" in the procession on Monday, by saying that there were present 250 "Gray Boys In Blue" from Newark. Is It not rtritnge that the Statesman should say that there were In the procession 250 "Gray Boys" lrom Newark, when It Is a notorious fact that the train which brought the men from Newark did not reach the depot until the procession had passed through High street, and that the men, headed by a band, went directly to the State House, and did not join the procession at all ? These men, when counted, numbered between forty and fifty. Transfers ok Real Estate filed in the Recorder's office of Franklin county, October 2,1807: R. E. Neil and wife to G. G.

Olll, 15 men at 70 cents per day for live years, and Capital Manufacturing Company, 25 minor convicts for live years at 40 cents per day. AMUBEMKNTH. Ofma-La 0ASOK-nmiinoi.i.-Th musical and faahlonablo clrrlua of Columbus are ill excitement, at tlit prospective brief Opera seMon. which will com-menca on Monday, when Rossini's beautiful opara, " Barber of Seville," will ke reoJ'-iwl. This musical event will, we have no doubt, be one to be long remembered with pleasure, being the Unit reappearance of the magniflcent La Grange after hi return from Europe, andtheonly appearance this season, of tho irresistible " Brujnoli." The Company gave " Don Pasquale " at Cleveland. We copy the following remarks from the Cleveland Herald, referring to La Grange : " La Change Bbionoli-Don Paswitale. The La Orawre-Brignoli Combination of musical ariitln under the direction of Mr. Max. Ktrakosch. appeaved at Case Hall, last evening, for the second time, in Donizetti's comic opera of " Don Pasquale." The house was again well tilled with the lovers ot music. To say the leading music of this pleasing opera, in most of the parts, wan well rendered, would only be stuting a fact that would be fully borne out by all present. Of course, the great centre of attraction, and upon which the greatest amount nf Attentinn vrma Vuutr.T..o.l . - '"'-iiw.il. vj, nne tllC " Norma," sustained by Mudame de La (irangt In it she made a triumDh that ennM nnt r.ii iiavA been gratifying to her friends and herself, and a credit to an artiste of her great and well earned renutation. iiae many or ine greatest musical artists that have lived before her, and probably will live after her, Maaame .La orange may not succeed in the concert room to convey a just and appreciative feeling in her audience; but place her on the lyric stage, surround her with all the accessories of a full opera, and her spirit draws inspiration from the surroundings that wiU make itself felt in all her listeners, and force an acknowledgment of her power. Hhe sung and acted the part of ' Norina" lust evening magnificently. As an actress we do not remember to ever have seen her equal on the lyric stage, -easy and graceful, and in the part under consideration, particularly spirited and natural, to a charming degree. It is seldom that the two requisites tor a great arlittt, voice and action, are combined in filename person. But we find them to an eminent degree in Madame La Grange, as exhibited in this simple opera, which left a Strang desire to see and hear her in something more worthy of her powers both as an actress and a singer, say, for iustanee, in "Norma." We are glad that our citizens had the opportunity of hearing her in opera, even under the disadvantages that surrounded the prmlurtion of "Don Pasquale." as the opinion former', n!' her qualifications and abilities by the experiences of tho concert room alono could not do her justice. Sig. Brignoli sung his part beautifully. Hi! is one of the few singers that are equally acceptable in concert or opera. It will be remembered that the sale of reserved seat will commence to-morrow morning at nine u'elork at Seltzer's. PEESONAL. Ok Dickens's appearance the Boston Post correspondent says : "He does not recall the early portraits where he shone with beautiful black eyes, splendid hair and the complexion of healthy youth, lie has fallen off indeed as Lord Lytton has done. If you staud in Knebworth Hall, as I have stood, aud look at the portrait of Sir Lytton Bulwer, by Maclise, you will find it difficult to be- licve that the elderly gentleman in an old-fashioned blue coat, with a stoop in his shoul- : ders, a high collar and stiff neckerchief round his throat, and who put his hand behind his ear when you speak to him was the original of the painting, diaries Dickens is not a contrast of that kind. He has escaped the ill-health which has shattered the author of Pelhim. But his hair Iron grey, and scanty ; he wears a mustache and pointed beard, and his face has a red-brown tinge which sometimes remindsone of the complexion of Louis Napoleon. The papers relate a most atrocious case of assault, committed by a Paris landlord on an American lady of high respectability, which will show you that even the French are not all those models of politeness which people who do not know them ascribe to them. It seems that this lady, a Mrs. Truefleld, with her young son, took lodgings at the IIolcl detltal-ten$, Jiuede Clwimtl, in June, at a stipulated price for her rooms of 10 francs a day. When she came to pay her bill, she found it outra geously high such Items as the follpwing being Included : two candles, 2 francs ; a bath , fl francs; two dinners, 10 francs; strawber ries, 3 francs ; and four of the days the rooms were charged at 80 francs. She naturally declined to pay such charges, and said she would engage rooms elsewhere. She proceeded to go out. ; but at the door was stop- lied by the concierge woman, who forced her back Into the hotel ; the landlord then locked her In her room for twelve hours. When the lady strove again to leave the hotel she was followed Into the street by the landlord, who tried to force her back ; he threw her down and drugged her back'to the hotel. The pass-ers In the street forced an entrance and rescued her. And for this outrage, Freuch justice condemned the brute to 100 francs tine ($20) and a month's Imprisonment. This Is given as a glimpse of French civilization In the lower classes, and of French justice In the higher. From the Zanesville Courier. LEAVING THE COPPERHEAD DEN. Eds. Courier : Last eveulng I attended the meeting of the " True lioy in Blue" and came to the conclusion after hearing the remarks of Gens. Loggctt, Wiles and others, that I im ashamed of belonging to the W. F. B.'s. Now as to my name getting there let mo make a few remarks. In the first place my name was handed In there without my knowing It, until afterwards, and then I was under the impression that it was a meeting expressly for the soldiers, and not merely a political, demagogue concern as It turned out , to be. I fought against the rebels foi three years and six months In the field, and am ready and willing to light them at home. So. brother soldiers, count on me as being ..m- of tho many True lknj m Blue.

Pretty Thick. The Sta,esinan tries to convey the Impression that "0,000 people listened to the speeches of Yoorhees and Vallandigham on Mondaj. That 30,000 occupied about one-half of the east terrace of the State House. Wasn't that packing 30,000 people Into a rather small space? Bound Over.

Though all those ceremonies which were required by tho Levltlciil law, and were scrupulously observed while tho Tem pie stood, are not now used, the main features are the same. It is a scasou of unmixed rejoicing, and, as will have been observed, the stores of those who now cclebratohclr new year were closed. Besides performing the customary rites at the Synagogue, con gratulatory visits were made and presents given. The Democratic Debauch Again. The " Local " of the Statesman yesterday morning engaged in the gentlemanly business In a Democratic view of calling the " Local '' of the Journal a liar. This Is always the resort of low bred and mean fellows when they lack a better argument, aud the Statesman fellow falls back upon the last argument of blackguards with remarkable facility. We presume that this is not his natural element, but It Is not strange that he should resort to It when we reflect that he has not yet recovered from last Monday's debauch. As he Is not yet In a condition to be held responsible for what he says, we cau excuse him. The public knows that the streets were covered with drunken men on Mouday ; that dozens of fights occurred, and that it was not safe for a lady to go out unaccompanied by a gentleman, aud In the fact that these things are known, and are crushing down the Democratic party in tills county like a leaden weight, is the secret of the impotent wrath of the Statesman. Railroad officials at the depot inform us that that place, froinO o'clock Monday night until 2 o'clock the next morning, was the scene of such a drama as can only be enacted by dozens of men brutalized I by whisky ; and it was only by the greatest exertions that order could be preserved, and ladies protected from insult. The facts which we have given to the public In respect to the Democratic meeting can be verified by many witnesses, and the Statesman is welcome to the poor privilege of calling us a liar. Register of Births and Deaths. By a law passed by the General Assembly of Ohio last winter, it was made the duty of the Probate Judges to keep a register of the births and deaths in their respective counties. It also made it the duty of physicians and mid-wives to make a return to the Probate Judge of the births that occur within their knowledge, and of physicians, sextons, &c, to make a return of the deaths. These returns are to be madesemi-annually, on the 1st of April and October of each year. The time has now expired for the first return to be made, and yet the Probate Judge of this county has received only the reports of one physician and one mid-wife. If the provisions of the law could be carried into effect the public would thus be furnished with some very valuable statistics. We trust that those persons whose duty It is to make these returns will do so Immediately. Rain. This vicinity of the country was visited by u slight shower of rain last night. The dry weather with which we have teen afllictcd has been unparalcllcd in the history of the country. The Scioto river Is so low that water has ceased to run over the State dam below the city, and the river is so near dry at this point that It Is possible for a man to cross the river without wetting his boots. Work on the bridge of the Columbus aud Hocking Valley Railroad has been commenced, but the water lu the canal Is so low that It Is Impossible to procure stone so as to hasten on the work. The Truthkul Statesman. The States man tries to make it appear that the Journal reporter lied when he suld that there were 120 "Gray Boys in Blue" in the procession on Monday, by saying that there were present 250 "Gray Boys In Blue" from Newark. Is It not rtritnge that the Statesman should say that there were In the procession 250 "Gray Boys" lrom Newark, when It Is a notorious fact that the train which brought the men from Newark did not reach the depot until the procession had passed through High street, and that the men, headed by a band, went directly to the State House, and did not join the procession at all ? These men, when counted, numbered between forty and fifty. Transfers ok Real Estate filed in the Recorder's office of Franklin county, October 2,1807: R. E. Neil and wife to G. G.

Ofma-La 0ASOK-nmiinoi.i.-Th musical and faahlonablo clrrlua of Columbus are ill excitement, at tlit prospective brief Opera seMon. which will com-menca on Monday, when Rossini's beautiful opara, " Barber of Seville," will ke reoJ'-iwl. This musical event will, we have no doubt, be one to be long remembered with pleasure, being the Unit reappearance of the magniflcent La Grange after hi return from Europe, andtheonly appearance this season, of tho irresistible " Brujnoli." The Company gave " Don Pasquale " at Cleveland. We copy the following remarks from the Cleveland Herald, referring to La Grange : " La Change Bbionoli-Don Paswitale. The La Orawre-Brignoli Combination of musical ariitln under the direction of Mr. Max. Ktrakosch. appeaved at Case Hall, last evening, for the second time, in Donizetti's comic opera of " Don Pasquale." The house was again well tilled with the lovers ot music. To say the leading music of this pleasing opera, in most of the parts, wan well rendered, would only be stuting a fact that would be fully borne out by all present. Of course, the great centre of attraction, and upon which the greatest amount nf Attentinn vrma Vuutr.T..o.l . - '"'-iiw.il. vj, nne tllC " Norma," sustained by Mudame de La (irangt In it she made a triumDh that ennM nnt r.ii iiavA been gratifying to her friends and herself, and a credit to an artiste of her great and well earned renutation. iiae many or ine greatest musical artists that have lived before her, and probably will live after her, Maaame .La orange may not succeed in the concert room to convey a just and appreciative feeling in her audience; but place her on the lyric stage, surround her with all the accessories of a full opera, and her spirit draws inspiration from the surroundings that wiU make itself felt in all her listeners, and force an acknowledgment of her power. Hhe sung and acted the part of ' Norina" lust evening magnificently. As an actress we do not remember to ever have seen her equal on the lyric stage, -easy and graceful, and in the part under consideration, particularly spirited and natural, to a charming degree. It is seldom that the two requisites tor a great arlittt, voice and action, are combined in filename person. But we find them to an eminent degree in Madame La Grange, as exhibited in this simple opera, which left a Strang desire to see and hear her in something more worthy of her powers both as an actress and a singer, say, for iustanee, in "Norma." We are glad that our citizens had the opportunity of hearing her in opera, even under the disadvantages that surrounded the prmlurtion of "Don Pasquale." as the opinion former', n!' her qualifications and abilities by the experiences of tho concert room alono could not do her justice. Sig. Brignoli sung his part beautifully. Hi! is one of the few singers that are equally acceptable in concert or opera. It will be remembered that the sale of reserved seat will commence to-morrow morning at nine u'elork at Seltzer's. PEESONAL. Ok Dickens's appearance the Boston Post correspondent says : "He does not recall the early portraits where he shone with beautiful black eyes, splendid hair and the complexion of healthy youth, lie has fallen off indeed as Lord Lytton has done. If you staud in Knebworth Hall, as I have stood, aud look at the portrait of Sir Lytton Bulwer, by Maclise, you will find it difficult to be- licve that the elderly gentleman in an old-fashioned blue coat, with a stoop in his shoul- : ders, a high collar and stiff neckerchief round his throat, and who put his hand behind his ear when you speak to him was the original of the painting, diaries Dickens is not a contrast of that kind. He has escaped the ill-health which has shattered the author of Pelhim. But his hair Iron grey, and scanty ; he wears a mustache and pointed beard, and his face has a red-brown tinge which sometimes remindsone of the complexion of Louis Napoleon. The papers relate a most atrocious case of assault, committed by a Paris landlord on an American lady of high respectability, which will show you that even the French are not all those models of politeness which people who do not know them ascribe to them. It seems that this lady, a Mrs. Truefleld, with her young son, took lodgings at the IIolcl detltal-ten$, Jiuede Clwimtl, in June, at a stipulated price for her rooms of 10 francs a day. When she came to pay her bill, she found it outra geously high such Items as the follpwing being Included : two candles, 2 francs ; a bath , fl francs; two dinners, 10 francs; strawber ries, 3 francs ; and four of the days the rooms were charged at 80 francs. She naturally declined to pay such charges, and said she would engage rooms elsewhere. She proceeded to go out. ; but at the door was stop- lied by the concierge woman, who forced her back Into the hotel ; the landlord then locked her In her room for twelve hours. When the lady strove again to leave the hotel she was followed Into the street by the landlord, who tried to force her back ; he threw her down and drugged her back'to the hotel. The pass-ers In the street forced an entrance and rescued her. And for this outrage, Freuch justice condemned the brute to 100 francs tine ($20) and a month's Imprisonment. This Is given as a glimpse of French civilization In the lower classes, and of French justice In the higher. From the Zanesville Courier. LEAVING THE COPPERHEAD DEN. Eds. Courier : Last eveulng I attended the meeting of the " True lioy in Blue" and came to the conclusion after hearing the remarks of Gens. Loggctt, Wiles and others, that I im ashamed of belonging to the W. F. B.'s. Now as to my name getting there let mo make a few remarks. In the first place my name was handed In there without my knowing It, until afterwards, and then I was under the impression that it was a meeting expressly for the soldiers, and not merely a political, demagogue concern as It turned out , to be. I fought against the rebels foi three years and six months In the field, and am ready and willing to light them at home. So. brother soldiers, count on me as being ..m- of tho many True lknj m Blue.
